About Fruitcake

Fruitcake is an LGBTQ+ owned and operated swimwear brand founded in Columbus, Ohio.

We specialize in unique, fashionable swimwear locally designed and crafted. Fruitcake was created by Austin Burgess, a self-taught fashion designer inspired to pursue his passion to create stylish, size-inclusive pieces designed for every body to swim with confidence. 

 We partner with Columbus Apparel Studio, a woman-founded and operated manufacturer specializing in crafting high-quality, small batch clothing in Columbus, Ohio. Investing in brands like Fruitcake helps reduce the impact of fast fashion while supporting organizations that help improve the environment and inspire LGBTQ+ people live their authentic lives.
